What are the criteria for advancement?
Criteria for advancing to any belt level are based on a student’s attendance, attitude, and ability to execute proficiently the required techniques at each belt level. At each belt level, a student will be required to demonstrate specific self defense techniques, kicking techniques, fighting combinations, and traditional forms. At the intermediate level, sparring (fighting) is also required. At the advanced level, sparring and forms put to music are also required. To advance, we require a belt test. These opportunities are provided at the middle and end of each semester, and once during the summer session.
